sansho the bailiff is perhaps my favorite film (tie with bresson's au hasard balthazar). i love old japanese directors! you watch those old movies and compare with recent japanese films (or any recent films for that matter) and it's just sad...

Hi! Thank you for the note, which I failed to answer immediately. I am glad to find Socialists like you. I do admire Karl Marx, as well as his and Engel's idea. But I already ceased to believe that Communism's supposedly "almost perfect" set-up is ever attainable. Because in the first place, man is the implementor, and man is prone to error. Communism is better in print, never in real life. For a society to flourish, it all boils down to individual values and moral. It really is an accumulative result of individual desire and effort to improve himself and attain a higher level of standard. I am a Filipino, and being a Filipino (if you have ever been to our country), you can not blame me for losing this kind of idealism. Right now, our political situation is being rocked by a major controversy. All because everyone seems to be greedy. Bless us all.
Hey António, thank you for your note! Yes, it's fair to say I'm a Socialist, although, not a Communist. I believe that the most important precondition for a successful global socialism is a shift away from the Protestant work ethic and towards a communitarian/rule-utilitarian ethic where people see their own best interests in the best interests of the whole.I spend a lot of time with my friends trying to convince them that the WHOLE is something different from the majority.. that it allows for the importance of the minority voice.Anywho, I hope you'll stay in touch.Do you live in Portugal? Sadly, I've never left the United States, though I do want to and SOON.Best,Addy
